BITTY Schram rose to fame as Sharona Fleming on the television series Monk.
However, some fans were surprised to learn that she left the show midway through the third season.
Who is Bitty Schram?
Bitty Schram is an actress best known for playing Sharona Fleming on the television series Monk and for playing Evelyn Gardner in the film A League of Their Own.
She was born in New Jersey on July 17, 1968 as Elizabeth Natalie Schram.
His other acting credits include Marvin’s Room and One Fine Day.
Why did Bitty Schram leave Monk?
Bitty’s last appearance was in “Mr Monk Takes His Medicine”, which was midway through its third season in 2004.
When the show returned the following year, her disappearance was explained by the suggestion that her character had returned to her ex-husband and left Monk’s job.
Some fans thought this seemed very strange, so they began to wonder about the real reason for his departure.
However, the reason for Bitty’s departure has not been confirmed.
It is thought it could have been due to a contract dispute.
The network stated that it “decided to go in a different creative direction with some of its characters.”
The Hollywood Reporter reported that “some members of the series’ supporting cast, including Schram, Ted Levine and Jason Gray-Stanford, have attempted to renegotiate the terms of their contract[s]” and said Schram’s departure was evidence of the industry’s “hard line against raise-seeking actors who are not absolutely essential to the show.”
